STOCKTON – A 9-year-old girl who was a fourth-grade student at Kennedy Elementary died Sunday at an Oakland hospital, possibly from bacterial meningitis, Stockton Unified announced Monday.

Confirmation of the cause of death was pending completion of laboratory work, said Stockton Unified health administrator Tammy Evans, but the district is treating the cause as if it was bacterial meningitis.

Kennedy, in north Stockton, was open for regular hours Monday, and district officials said they believe the case of meningitis was isolated. Stockton Unified did not immediately release the name of the girl.
